Practice questions
Q1Match the MS Word paragraph-alignment shortcuts in List I with their functions in List II. List I: 1. Ctrl+L 2. Ctrl+E 3. Ctrl+R 4. Ctrl+J List II: a. Align right b. Justify text c. Align left d. Centre text
The stem is about paragraph alignment, not character formatting. In MS Word, Ctrl+L aligns the paragraph to the left, Ctrl+E centres it, Ctrl+R aligns it to the right, and Ctrl+J justifies the paragraph so that both margins look even. Therefore the correct sequence is 1-c, 2-d, 3-a and 4-b. The distractors are tempting because they keep some commands in place but swap the common alignment shortcuts with one another.
Q2Match the MS Word shortcuts in List I with their functions in List II. List I: 1. Ctrl+F 2. Ctrl+H 3. Ctrl+A List II: a. Select all text b. Find text c. Replace text
In Word, Ctrl+F is the common Find shortcut, used when you want to search for a word or phrase in a document. Ctrl+H opens the Replace function, where found text can be changed to another word or phrase. Ctrl+A selects all text and objects in the current document area. The stem gives three shortcuts and three functions, so the correct matching is 1-b, 2-c and 3-a. The other options swap these familiar commands.
Q3Read the following assertion and reason about MS Word. Assertion (A): Ctrl+Enter is used to insert a manual page break in a Word document. Reason (R): A manual page break moves the text after the cursor to the beginning of the next page. Choose the correct answer.
The assertion names a specific Word shortcut: Ctrl+Enter. In MS Word, this shortcut inserts a manual page break at the cursor position. The reason correctly describes the effect of that page break: content after the cursor starts on the next page instead of continuing on the same page. Since the reason explains why Ctrl+Enter is used when the user wants a new page from that point, both the assertion and the reason are true, and R correctly explains A.
Q4Which option correctly states the MS Word shortcut for making the selected text bold?
The question asks about making selected text bold, which is a character-formatting action. In MS Word, Ctrl+B toggles bold formatting on or off for the selected text or for the next text typed. Ctrl+I is italic, Ctrl+U is underline, and Ctrl+L controls left alignment of a paragraph. Since bold is specifically requested, the shortcut that matches the action is Ctrl+B.
Q5In MS Word, which keyboard shortcut opens the Print screen for the current document?
The key cue in the stem is opening the Print screen for the current document. In MS Word, Ctrl+P is the standard shortcut for Print. It takes the user to print settings such as printer selection, number of copies, page range and orientation. Ctrl+S is for saving changes, Ctrl+O opens an existing file, and Ctrl+F searches text in the document. Since only Ctrl+P is linked with the print command, option A is the correct answer.
